ISO & Europe: the Vienna Agreement
ISO & Europe: the Vienna Agreement (cont.)(cont.)
Four main mechanisms for ensuring equivalence of ISO and European standards :
Adoption of ISO standards by CEN
Parallel approval of work items under ISO leadership (Vienna Agreement, clause 5.1)
Parallel approval of work items under CEN leadership (Vienna Agreement, clause 5.2)
ITU-T
Vienna Agreement situation
Vienna Agreement situation
June 2004 : 2611 available CEN European standards and pre-standards are identical to ISO standards (28% of the total number of CEN European standards)
In 2003 : among 995 ISO Standards, 26% were published under the Vienna Agreement
Ongoing work
Ø Parallel approval
– ISO lead 679
– CEN lead 303
ITU-T
Harmonisation is not just about
Institutions- it is about People
o So much for the formal structures
o But Standardization is not just about structures and procedures
o Standards are largely developed by volunteers o And this relies on the companies behind these
volunteers feeling that the investment is sound
o Different parts of Standards dealt with by Different SDO’s can be wasteful on this scarce resource
o Nothing is more infuriating to a company that investing in a Standard only to find out that a
ITU-T
Joint Working
o SDO’s are separate for good reason- ITU has
three global regions where the regulatory regimes are very different.
o ETSI specialise in Providing European Region
1 Telecommunications Standards
o IEEE specialise in Region 2 Standards
o IEC deal with Electrotechnical Standards o ISO deal with Application Standards
ITU-T
Sharing WG’s
o The Vienna Agreement enables ISO and CEN to
work together on common work items –The ITS Committee- ISO TC204 provides good example of this.
o Of its 10 active working groups, 7 are common
with CEN TC278.
o 4 of the WG’s meet jointly
ITU-T
Common Resources
o I am making this presentation representing ISO
as an active participant of CEN TC204
o But I am also here at this workshop as the
Chair of ETSI TG37 (ITS)
o Using common resources enables us to avoid
duplicating work
o Using common resources helps to ensure that
ITU-T
In Intelligent Transport we are
lucky
o ISO TC204 – CEN TC278 – ETSI TG37 work
closely together, and jointly participate in an ITCSB Steering group
o ISO - CEN – ETSI – ITU participate in a panel
that organises and manages the sharing of information
o That panel organised this workshop so that
automotive manufacturers and OEM’s have a single focus for, in this case the subject of ICT in Vehicles
ITU-T
The Future
o Collaboration, not competition, between
SDO’s
o More timely, market related, delivery of
Standards
o Mutually supporting Standards environment
o Greater struggle to evolve the business model
